Judging from Su Manhan's reaction, he was sure that she was hiding something from him.
Sumanhan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He touched his ear and found that an earring had indeed fallen out!
Maybe he accidentally dropped it while chasing Qiao Jing. How come Qi Pei found it?
Now Su Manhan also knew that she could no longer hide it, swallowed her saliva, and continued to pretend not to hear.
"What did you say? I can't hear you. It's too noisy playing cards here, so I can't hear you."
Su Manhan didn't give Zhan Qipei a chance to question him and hung up the phone.
She doesn't want to face her son because she knows that her son is very smart and if she talks more, the secret will definitely be revealed.
But she was also worried that Qiao Jing would take this opportunity to complain to her son, and then she would definitely have to quarrel with her again.
Zhan Qipei looked at the hung up phone in silence. If his mother was there, Zhan Nanqing would most likely be there too.
Zhan Nanqing's cell phone rang in the ward. She picked up the phone and was stunned when she saw the caller.
"my brother?!"
It's over, why did her brother call her? Could it be that her brother knew about this?!
But Qiao Jing just said that she would go to the orphanage, and her brother seemed to believe it. Why did he call her at that time?
Zhan Nanqing cast a look of help at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing also didn't expect that Zhan Qipei would call Zhan Nanqing. There was nothing wrong with what she said just now, everything was very logical.
Then this phone call may have nothing to do with you, but you should be vigilant no matter what.
Qiao Jing used her eyes to signal Zhan Nanqing not to spill the beans and to be on the safe side and let her turn on the speakerphone.
"Turn on speakerphone."
At this moment, Zhan Nanqing felt that she was under a lot of pressure, and the finger that clicked on the call was trembling.
She gritted her teeth and quickly pressed the answer button. She would die sooner or later!
After the call was connected, Zhan Qi Pei did not speak immediately, and there was a strange silence in the ward.
Zhan Nanqing's heart was beating fast, she nervously clutched the corners of her clothes, and swallowed subconsciously.
The other party didn't speak for a long time, and Zhan Nanqing suspected that her brother was deliberately scaring her, so she bit the bullet and spoke first.
"Brother...what's wrong?"
"Where is Qiao Jing?"
If it were normal, Zhan Nanqing could still say that she didn't know.
But Zhan Qi Pei's voice now was very cold, as if it was coming from the abyss of hell, and it was bone-piercing ice.
This made Zhan Nanqing, who was already nervous, so frightened that he couldn't even speak. His heart skipped a beat and he couldn't answer immediately.
Zhan Qipei narrowed his dark eyes, with a cold look in them. He was even more sure that the mother and daughter were hiding something from him. They had met Qiao Jing today.
"Where is Qiao Jing?"
His voice was still low and cold. Zhan Nanqing felt chilled through the phone. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
She definitely can't be blamed for this! Now her brother's aura is like that of the living King of Hell who crawled out of hell, and she doesn't even dare to say lies.
Qiao Zhan Nanqing looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. Qiao Jing couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to embarrass anyone anymore. Zhan Qi Pei's aura was not something ordinary people could hold.
She took the phone from Zhan Nanqing's hand and said to the other end of the phone, "I'm not feeling well. I'm resting in the hospital. I'll go back soon."
Only then did Zhan Nanqing's tense body relax, and she looked at Qiao Jing gratefully.
As long as she doesn't listen to her brother's voice that can freeze people through the phone.
After Zhan Qipei heard Qiao Jing's voice, the expression on his face softened, but what she said made him nervous again.
"Which hospital is it in? What's the ward number? I'll go there now!"
Qiao Jing heard the hurried footsteps on the phone and told the other party the hospital and ward number.
"I'll be there soon!"
The call was hung up.
After seeing the phone hanging up, Zhan Nanqing quickly patted her chest to calm herself down.
"My brother is so scary..."
Qiao Jing returned the phone to Zhan Nanqing and lay back on the hospital bed to rest.
She thought of something, there was a wave of emotion in her phoenix eyes, and she placed her hands gently on her belly.
Because Zhan Qipei was too anxious, he failed to control the force of opening the door, and the ward door made a banging sound.
Zhan Nanqing, who was sitting next to Qiao Jing, was startled and her body trembled.
Qiao Jing didn't have any mood swings. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhan Qi Pei.
But he saw Zhan Qi Pei's miserable appearance.
Zhan Qipei's hair became messy, and a few strands of hair hung down, poking his eyelids, but he didn't feel dazzled.
The tie on his body was probably torn off by him for ventilation, and his suit, which had been ironed until it had no wrinkles, was now wrinkled.
One can imagine how he got here all the way.
Qiao Jing stared at Zhan Qipei's dusty appearance for a while. He usually paid great attention to his dress and appearance.
He couldn't stand even a trace of wrinkles on his suit jacket. He had to smooth it out before he could put it on, and he wasn't allowed to have any slight curls in his hair.
This made Qiao Jing feel a warm current in her heart, but she understood a truth better.
The strong-willed melon is not sweet, and she has no emotional interest in Zhan Qi Pei.
Just because Zhan Qipei likes her, she must repay him with the same feelings. There is no such truth in the world.
Zhan Qipei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiao Jing safe and sound. He walked to the bedside and stared at her with his burning gaze, scanning her up and down.
Finally, his eyes rested on Qiao Jing's pale face, and Zhan Qi Pei felt his heart ache.
Qiao Jing felt a little uncomfortable under the other party's scorching gaze, as if she was naked and being looked at by him.
She tilted her head slightly, avoiding Zhan Qipei's unabashed gaze, and her face still had a calm and calm expression.
Zhan Qipei immediately asked, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
It was impossible for Qiao Jing to tell Zhan Qi Pei the real situation, so he found a suitable excuse to deal with it.
"I've been too tired during this period and haven't had a good rest."
She put the hand on her belly back under the quilt and took a calm sip of water.
Zhan Qipei's heart also sank. It was probably because of the things happening at the research institute and Miaochuntang that Qiao Jing was so busy.
Why didn't he notice Qiao Jing's fatigue?
Usually he could catch the subtle expressions on her face, but this time he failed to notice the fatigue on her face. It was his fault.
"Then I'll take you home to rest. The hospital is still not as comfortable as home."
Qiao Jing also knew that if she forced herself to stay in the hospital at this time, Zhan Qipei would notice something strange, so she agreed.
"good."
She got up and Zhan Qi Pei was about to go home. Zhan Nanqing in the ward couldn't help it and rushed up to stand between them.
